Where do you see yourself in 10 years? In 10 years I would like to be a career coach for Northwestern Mutual recruiters nationwide. I truly enjoy coaching people to achieve their goals and helping people accomplish things they didn’t see possible.

I also have the goal to be able to travel with my husband and children. I want to take them to new places every year and see the world. I am very excited to grow our family and enjoy life!

What’s the best part of your day? Coming home after a really long day and seeing my little girl and husband. It makes me feel great to know that I can have a successful career and can still be a great mom!

What was the rock star moment of your career? Being promoted to chief recruiting officer in 2011 was an exciting moment. With only a handful of chief recruiting officers nationwide, I joined the ranks of the best of the best in our organization. I am proud of this accomplishment and excited to see where this new role will take me.

What advice would you give to future Up & Comers? Everyone defines success differently. Figure out what you value the most and what success means to you. Once you do, don’t settle for anything less.

What charity or nonprofit do you support most and why? I support the Junior League of Tampa. The Junior League of Tampa is an amazing organization of women committed to promoting volunteerism, developing the potential of women and improving the Tampa Bay community. I am always impressed to meet the caliber of women who take time out of their crazy schedules to give back to others.
